Moscow City, with its tall city walls and huge city gates, as the news spread, a large number of Muscovites gathered at the city gate, wanting to see those Ming people from the distant east.
Even Grand Duke Vasily III of the Principality of Moscow came to the city gate with many nobles and ministers, wanting to see the Ming Dynasty people for the first time.
There are too many legends about the Ming Empire, but most of them are the porcelain used by nobles when dining, the porcelain bottles placed in their homes, the silk on their bodies, exquisite glassware, etc. These expensive things and many The Ming Empire as described by people who went to the Ming Empire and returned.
As for actual contact with the people of the Ming Empire, it is still very rare. Very few people have had contact with the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they are full of curiosity about the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"Grand Duke, they are not the envoys of the Ming Empire. Why do we still greet them with such shrouded etiquette?"
Beside Vasily III, there were ministers looking at the vast and dense crowd in front of them. Almost all the nobles and ministers in Moscow came out.
This minister didn't quite understand that these Ming people had clearly killed dozens of his own soldiers. Not only were they not punished, but they also had to welcome these Ming people with a grand ceremony. The key was that their identities were just bodyguards of the escort agency. , not from the official government of the Ming Empire. ãá minus 7 5zw .*co*m ãá
"Because we need to have a good relationship with the Ming Empire."
Vasily III looked at the road ahead, and could vaguely see a bright yellow flag flying high, with a long snake-like thing on it. It is said that this is the dragon that the people of the Ming Dynasty most admired.
"Coming~coming~"
I don¡¯t know who shouted. Suddenly, the people who were discussing all looked at the road ahead. They saw the flying dragon flag becoming more and more clear. Under the flying dragon flag, a cavalry of the Principality of Moscow. Under escort, a dozen Ming people wearing uniforms were slowly walking towards Moscow.
"My lord, everything has been cleared up."
"These Ming people are all escorts from the same escort agency. This time they are also escorting two people from our Principality of Moscow back to Moscow."
"These two people, one named Alexei, was a nobleman in the past. He was captured by the Tatars when he led his army in a battle with the Tatars. They were sold as slaves to the Ming Dynasty, and then they were sold to a Ming Dynasty in Tianzhu. The Ming vassal state called Ningguo."
"Two years ago, Ning State attacked the Afghans in Northern Tianzhu. This Alexey was incorporated into the slave army. Because of his bravery in fighting and many meritorious services, he was finally restored to freedom and received a large amount of land, slaves and wealth as rewards. .¡±
"When I come back this time, it is said that I will find my relatives and take them back to Ningguo to settle down."
"The other one named Andrei was a serf in the past. He has similar experiences to Alexei. He is also planning to come back to find his relatives and take him back to Ningguo to settle down."
General Puskov came to the gate of Moscow first and reported the situation in detail to Vasily III.
"Interesting, he actually made a name for himself in the Ming Empire."
After listening carefully, Vasily III also laughed.
I don¡¯t know how many Slavs were sold out. Alexey and Andrei are almost legendary. I don¡¯t know how difficult it is for these slaves to turn over. Not only did they turn over, but they also obtained Ningguo¡¯s a certain status.
When General Pskov reported in detail to Vasily III, Alexei, Andrei, Zhang Wei and others also came to the city of Moscow.
Zhang Wei looked at the dense crowds on both sides of the road, a little confused.
Of course, the most important thing is the smell of perfume. Even though it is some distance away, a strong smell of perfume mixed with dizzy body odor and stench blows over with gusts of wind, so that Zhang Wei, who is riding on the horse, I couldn't help but want to spit it out.
????????????????????????????????????????: ???????????????????????????????????????: Visited many big cities in Europe, and also came into contact with many European nobles and upper-class people. It is really unbearable for them to not take a shower and wear perfume, and the smell of their respective smells mixed together is really unbearable.
??Looking at the city of Moscow in front of you, the city walls are tall, and the pointed domes stand one after another. The Italian Byzantine style is coming to you, and the atmosphere of art and religion is extremely rich.
¡°The buildings are extremely beautifully built, which is different from many barbarian lands.¡±?Like a curious baby, he keeps asking questions one after another.
"Mr. Alexei, can you tell us about the situation in the Ming Empire?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the people of Ming Dynasty are extremely rich, and there is gold everywhere."
"Well, the Ming Empire is very vast. This is the most common map within the Ming Empire. Please see, here is our Principality of Moscow, this is Crimea, this is the Ottoman Empire, this is Italy, and all the way from the Ural Mountains From here to the Caucasus, and then to the east, the entire vast territory belongs to the Ming Empire."
"But this is only part of the territory of the Ming Empire. Overseas, the Ming Empire has a much wider territory. The entire Golden Continent and Australia are under the jurisdiction of the Ming Empire itself. There are also areas in Africa, Tianzhu, and Arabia. The Ming Empire also has A large number of colonies and vassal states.¡±
"It's true that the Ming Empire was extremely rich. Even the slaves of the Ming Dynasty had to eat three meals a day. They were full at each meal, and sometimes there was meat."
Mi He Mi. "But the Ming Empire is not full of gold. The place with the most gold is here in the Golden Continent"
Alexey looked at the eyes around him and didn¡¯t know where to start. Then he looked at Zhang Wei. He was surrounded by a group of ladies and girls
